观戏, 吐槽, 洒鸡汤 |《仲夏夜之梦》第五幕第一场戏中戏

第五幕第一场是婚礼前的看戏，情节简单，对白有趣。一出场，新娘就说，这些情侣说的事情太奇怪了。新郎说，真是太太太奇怪了，然后猛灌了一碗影响浪漫主义文人的最浓鸡汤：

THESEUS More strange than true. I never may believe

These antique fables, nor these fairy toys.

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,

Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend 5

More than cool reason ever comprehends.

The lunatic, the lover, and the poet

Are of imagination all compact :

One sees more devils than vast hell can hold;

That is the madman. The lover, all as frantic, 10

Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt.

The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;

And as imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen 15

Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing

A local habitation and a name.

Such tricks hath strong imagination

That if it would but apprehend some joy,

It comprehends some bringer of that joy; 20

Or in the night, imagining some fear,

How easy is a bush supposed a bear?

「精读」《仲夏夜之梦》The lunatic, the lover, and the poet 疯子，情人和诗人

把情人，疯子和诗人的想象力等量齐观，乍一看毫无道理，其实三者就如《仲夏夜之梦》一般，混乱里有和谐，眼泪中有笑声，奇妙的混合，产生哇塞的特效。

鸡汤喝完，看戏了，大家可以关注一下其他节目单名字，跟我们的网络小说《霸道总裁爱上我》等取名套路一样地下作低俗而吸引流量，最后忒修斯果然被最吸引流量的那一个剧所吸引，又被仆人欲拒还迎地套路，说“你千万别看，超无聊”，“演的是一群不动脑子的傻X”，又说这剧彩排时就可带劲儿了，让他笑着哭，哭着笑， I must confess, Made mine eyes water; but more 'merry' tears The passion of loud laughter never shed. 就这样勾起忒修斯强烈的好奇心敲定了此节目。

从排练中我们就知道这戏有多么的，呃呃呃，后现代了。

墙说：我是墙哦。

SNOUT (as Wall) In this same interlude it doth befall

That I, one Snout by name, present a wall;

观众说，哈哈哈！墙会说话也！那它应该反骂一下！

演主角的bully Bottom出戏了，回答了观众：不能骂！下一句台词不是墙的啦！BOTTOM No, in truth sir, he should not. 'Deceiving me' is Thisbe's cue.

然后两个男的围着另一个扮演墙的男人说着情话，还透过墙上的洞亲嘴儿，那情景有没有让人想马上去搜一搜人家怎么演的呢？新娘的意见是，再也没听过比这再蠢的东西。HiPPOLYTA This is the silliest stuff that ever I heard.

然后狮子上场了，狮子说：我是狮子哦，是人扮的哦大家不要被吓到

观众又开始评论，呀这狮子真善良呢！它是一只很狐狸，很鹅的畜生

THESEUS A very gentle beast, and of a good conscience.

DEMETRIUS The very best at a beast, my lord, that e'er I saw.

LYSANDER This lion is a very fox for his valour.

THESEUS True; and a goose for his discretion.

DEMETRIUS Not so, my lord ; for his valour cannot carry his discretion ; and the fox carries the goose.

THESEUS His discretion, I am sure, cannot carry his valour; for the 225 goose carries not the fox. It is well : leave it to his discretion, and let us listen to the moon.（其实在文艺复兴的剧院，演员演戏时，台下的人也是会说话的，他们互相说评论戏，跟演员说，或者压根各说各的根本不看戏，专业演员不会跳戏去互动，也不会被干扰，在乡村戏台，情况大不一样，不专业的演员们让“浸入式”戏剧时有发生。）

月光说：我是月光哦。

This lanthorn doth the horned moon present -

Myself the man i'th'moon do seem to be -

像诗一样的台词。但是被观众打断后，月亮又重新即兴地用土话复述了一遍“我是月光哦”，太可爱了。

STARVELING All that I have to say is to tell you that the lanthorn is the moon, I the man i'th'moon, this thorn bush my thorn bush, and this dog my dog.

为什么悲剧容易演成喜剧呢？因为如果哭得不感人，反而会逗人笑；死也很难，更容易逗人笑。人家双双殉情了，一定是演的不好，让观众不禁还要贫嘴两句，月光，狮子和墙头是不是要料理他们的葬事啊

THESEUS Moonshine and Lion are left to bury the dead.

DEMETRIUS Ay, and Wall, too.

说完戏里戏外的趣事，还没说最重要的一个：新娘觉得戏低劣不堪，没法入戏，新郎是怎么劝的？他的劝说，后来成了浪漫主义很重要的信条，欢迎大家讨论～
